Wait Paint
There are painters and waiters.
Which am I going to do? Paint or wait?
Which is better?
How much am I worth with my pro
perty waiting? How much if I paint?
Will mp house be worth more or less if
I paint?
Say it costs $2.25 a gallon Devoe--I
wouldn't paint any other-and $3 or $4
more for putting it on. That's $50 or
$60 a 10 gallon job.
The money is gone Is it in the
house? Is it all in the bouse?
Suppose I were selling; what should
I get for that house fresh-painted and
what should I get for it needing paint?

My dear Fir:-I appreciate your let
ter. It is not the only one of the kind
I have received.
I know that Peruna has been
greatly misrepresented and misunder
stood. I have not had time hereto
fore to answer these objections. I have
been too busy In my many enterprises.
My great farm, with its various de
partments, has so thoroughly engaged
my enthusiasm and attention in times
past that I could give little heed to
critics.
But I have taken up the matter
now. My farm is in the hands of in
telligent overseers and my other busi
ness is all organized in such a way that
I can give my attention to these mat*
ters. I am proposing now to explain
to the public all there in to say about
Peruna, knowing full well as soon as
the public understands it that the ma
licious things said about Peruna will
be quickly forgotten. PERUNA IS
FOR SALE AT ALL DLQ STORES.
